This is for shits and giggles. There is nothing that could be said or done that would persuade me to renew my membership. Curiosity killed the cat and so i am curious as to what the community would give as a reason to renew ?

I quit for 6 months and came back purely out of curiosity of what may be new... the withdrawal symptoms phased out quite quickly. If I am perfectly honest, unless the peak time lag severity is greatly reduced I do not see that much point in renewing.... There are other social gaming sites that offer great content for free.

I think after a year or two the game does begin to get, well, a little dull. The forums the same. I would actually like a break now (the premium is not the issue for me) but I have a few key long-term games i am involved in that I can't quit so here I stay.

Currently playing Civilisation Revolution on the XBOX 360 and am hugely enjoying thinking strategically in a different way. Basically I am just laying my troops blind on CC as I can't really be arsed which I think is really the moment to get out.

So I can't think of any reasons why you should re-new. In fact, I would say make a break for it while you can! You can always come back in 6 months refreshed and invigorated to start slaying numbers again.

Is this directed at me?

Well, Even though I hate the game now personally I would always suggest Runescape to younger players. Alternatives that I do play however include Travian and a new game called sociotown. Both online, no download and have great fun within them.

Perhaps I could effectively answer your inquiry. I need further information.

What exactly is the reason that you say there is no way to persuade you to renew?

Is there more than one reason?
If so what is/are the primary reason/s?

If it's easier for you, then list the reasons, in order of influence, that caused your current evaluation.

Answer this clearly and I'll give you my best answer.

Otherwise my answer is, that it's fun, and five games, (or whatever freebie level is), at a time isn't enough to satisfy.

That's my personal reason, but with your input I'll likely have better insight.

That's like a stupid reason; from someone who should be a beacon of good reasons.

No offense, Just hear me out.
I'm just saying, if I was "Operations Manager", I'd feel like I had to reach the mass audience.
I'd want to keep people on, and get more joining all the time.

No offense, I understand. But it is, to some degree, all about the money right?
Well, while I get the humor of the "Operations Manager's" reply,
It seems there a great mass out there that doesn't yet fully understand.
A better response, and perhaps a whole campaign of enlightenment might increase, good will, membership, and profit.

It's easy to laugh off potential things; especially when life is good.
It's common to regret missed opportunities as you age. I'm old so I know first hand.
It can always be better, or worse.

I'm not looking for anyone's job.
I'm Just talking.
I like CC.

Because you don't like your day-life :lol:

Medals became a nice hobby on this site. Then joining a clan. Now it is the tsm vs thota challenge that keeps me interested. As a result of the challenge I somehow started writing for the newsletter (which is crazy because I can't write) about clan wars. Now writing for the newsletter is part of what keeps me interested. Also CLA. I'd also like to be conqueror some time, but that's not at the top of the priority list yet, and I'm not sure I have the right skill set for that.

Anyway, that's what has kept me interested. :D

To find a nemesis and face off against them every once in a while. Also to invite your friends and kick their asses in games. There are lots of new people to meet! Dont you wanna be able to get some (points) from more than 4 CC ladies a time..... hmmm ;)? If you dont like people u can reserve spots for your friends. instead of the chance of getting a crappy team mate you can pick one.

Only buy it if you want to get sucked in again Dan. You know what i'm talking about buddy.

Sometimes i feel like I gotta get out of here, it sucks up way to much of my time...

But some days when culs and JC and I take out a high ranked trips team by the fucking skin of our teeth, it makes it all worth while.
